Srinagar- In a major action against narco-terror networks in Jammu and Kashmir, the State Investigation Agency (SIA) Kashmir has attached immovable property belonging to a Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK)-based operative of the banned Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT).
The action pertains to FIR No. 03/2023 registered at Police Station ANTF. The case was initially investigated by the Anti Narcotics Task Force (ANTF) before being transferred to SIA Kashmir for further probe into alleged narco-smuggling and terror funding activities.
Officials said investigations identified the accused as Zameer Ahmad Lone, a resident of Mandiyan Keran in Kupwara, who is presently operating from PoJK and is allegedly involved in narco-terror activities.
According to officials, Lone has been declared a proclaimed offender by a competent court for evading arrest and continuing anti-national activities from across the border.
Based on evidence gathered during the investigation, SIA Kashmir approached the court seeking attachment of the accused’s property, following which the court issued the necessary orders.
Acting on the directions, SIA officials attached land measuring 1 Kanal and 14.37 Marlas situated in Mandiyan Keran area of Kupwara district. The attachment process was carried out in the presence of an Executive Magistrate and local revenue officials in accordance with legal procedures.
Officials said SIA Kashmir had earlier filed a detailed chargesheet in the case, citing evidence related to drug trafficking, terror financing and links with cross-border terror networks.
The agency said the action reflects its continued efforts to dismantle the financial and logistical networks supporting terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir.
Officials added that strict legal action would continue against individuals involved in narco-terrorism and activities posing a threat to national security.
The move also comes amid intensified anti-drug measures under the Centre’s “Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyan”, aimed at breaking the nexus between narcotics trafficking and terrorism.
